I would never go without a wideangle. For me a typical wildlifecombo would be the rf14-35 + rf100-500 or similar

Thank you. Just curious, but wouldn’t 14-35 be much too wide for wildlife?

Yes. But as Camera Carl said, you are bound to run into some environmental shots you would hate to miss. And, a 45 or 16 is not much of a weight penalty.

BTW, how do you intend to carry it on the trail (many backpacks for instance that will handle the R5/RF100-500 are a bit heavy even empty)?
